I don't know...but I personally hope that we know who's in and who's out as soon as possible! I can't wait!

I agree, he is keeping a lot secret this time around. We still have 12-15 veterans that need to be revealed in addition to the remaining newcomers.

While I prefer liking to unlock characters and have secret characters discovered rather than revealed directly by Nintendo, they have already proven they don't care with Mario Kart 8. Granted, Sakurai is different, but E3 is also different, so who knows.
Sakurai's already given me reason to believe they aren't concerned with revealing hiddens, or there are none, or they are just moving tons over to the starting roster (similar to Melee moving 2).
That said, the entire roster? At E3? Probably not. Unless the game is coming out in June or July, and there are no secret characters at all. Even with Mario Kart, they had trickled characters out all the way up until that Direct, and the direct ONLY revealed 2 new characters.
I'm betting heavily on knowing most, if not all, of the starting roster, though. There's still potentially 13-14 veterns unrevealed, 5 of which were starters in Brawl. I don't expect all of thost 13-14 revealed at E3 though. Especially since they're likely revealing a few newcomers.
It could be like the Direct, where there was a theme. We will, however, know all of the 3rd parties, I am confident. If Pac-Man or Snake are not at E3, neither of them are in the game. If no other 3rd party is shown, it's just Sonic & Mega Man.

Would be nice, but I honestly doubt it. Now a leaked roster on the other hand I wouldn't be surprised.

Question: I wasn't around for the Brawl/Melee hype, how many characters were in those games that we never got any confirmation of until actually seeing them on the CSS upon first startup/unlocking them ourselves? I feel like that answer will help us determine how many "unknown" characters will be in the game when it launches this summer.

I imagine that if there were new characters that hadn't been revealed at the launch of the game, and if it launches worldwide at the same time, similarly to Pokemon X and Y, then everyone would be racing to buy it and find out who the hidden characters are to be the first to post them online. That said, I've heard that if you pre-order games, sometimes they get shipped faster than expected and might arrive a day before release.

Twelve. At least for the Japanese version.

Which ones were they? Were they all unlockable, or were some of them starters?

i think they will just give you the announced characters for the demo i feel like sakurai would do that and you know the other's might not be done yet but they will maybe announce 1-2 more characters

Ignoring leaks:
Brawl Dojo
- 25 characters revealed pre-release (counting Sheik/ZSS separate, Pokemon Trainer as one). 12 of these were newcomers. 2 of those were secret (Snake & Sonic).
- 12 characters we didn't formally know about. Only 4 were newcomers (if you count Toon Link, I personally don't).
Melee Site
- 15 characters were known in advance (all starters), 5 of them were newcomers.
- 11 were not revealed until later or via unlocking them. 9 of them were newcomers, with 6 being clones.
